The Navy, he said, is experimenting withthe radical plane at its Patuxent, Mr., test center.C. S. News said simply that the saucers are revolutionary new planes, probably developed by the Navy as part of its guided missile experiments.“Oood News”Tavlor said the real facts behind both types of saucer are good news for the nation.On type is the true flying saucer, he said, a disc that whizzes through space, halts suspended in the air, soars to 30,000 feet and more, drops to 1,000 feet, and then usually disintegrates. The saucers are harmless. pilotless discs, ranging from 20 inches to 250 feet in diameter, he said, and they’ve been haunting the skies for three years.On March 27, Taylor told about a “flying saucer” which was found on the ground in Texas.It was on June 25, 1017, hesaid, that the “saucer experiments began, and they have boonexpanded constantly ever since.As Taylor described the “true saucers,” there are several types, but no one is inside any of them. Some are flat and edged upward like a saucer, he said, while others are raised in the center, more like a pie.No Smoke, Sound“Some are guided,” he added. “Others are not. They have no stream of light or smoke, or indication of a propelling mechanism. and no sound.“Momentarily they can stand stationary in the air—so you can see them . . . then they dash off to left or right, wobbling and picking up soeed in a lazy sort of wav until thev movev- 1 rlike lightning. Rut they are utterly harmless.“I know what these so-called ‘flying saucers' are used for . . . verv important and wonderful.Taylor said the chances wereor,” because they disappear inthe air after a given time. Rut.because there is a possibilitythat thev will fall to the* earth«.intact, something is printed on the saucers.These words, Tavlor said, are stencilled in black letters on every real saucer:, *“Military secret of the United.States of American Armv Air Force — “and a number, and then this:“Anyone damaging or revealing description or whereabouts of this missile is subject to prosecution by the United States government, call collect at once.” Then there is a long distance telephone number, and the address of a C. S. air base, and finally the words, in big. black letters:“Non-exDlosive.” He finallydiscovered that there are two ereat mvsteries in the skies instead of one.“For the second mvsterv in slight that anyone had found an our skies has not only been seen original, genuine “flying sauc- but felt high in the air.” he said.“ . . . This objec t roars through the* night with flames pourin from squares on the oeige of the body-fuselage that look like* windows. And it is wingless.”Pancake ShapedTavlor said that in addition to%/other models, which he could not mention the phantom is a great jet airplane which really looks like and is shaped like apancake.“It has roughly circular outline,” he said. “Around the edge of its disc-like body is a series of jet-engine louvres (ventilators!. These are squares framing the blazing light ofr»the exhausts. Thev are not windows. Its jet motors are inside the pancake shape and flying at night it looks for all the world like a flat flaming disc in the air. and flies faster than I am permitted to say.”Taylor said it was such an object which was seen by Eastern Airline Pilots Capt. Clarence S.Chiles and Pilot John R. Whit-ted over Montgomery, Ala.,Julv 21, 10IS, ami which thevfc 7 t »described 111 detail.He also listed the bona fide “saucers” sighted by various persons.
